British broadcaster and President Trump fan Piers Morgan described his disgust over what was chanted at a Trump rally on Wednesday evening in a new op-ed for the Daily Mail.
Morgan — who recently gifted Trump a Winston Churchill hat and who often takes Trump’s sides in petty feuds, like Trump’s irritation with the USWNST — called the “send her back!” chants against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) at the rally and Trump’s embrace of them “an indefensible disgrace.”
“I feared this kind of horrifying scene might ensue after Trump had so recklessly and offensively instructed Omar and her four-woman ‘Squad’ of young female Democrats to ‘go back’ to their own ‘crime infested’ countries of origin,” Morgan wrote. “But to actually watch and hear a large gathering of thousands of predominantly white Americans chanting such a blatant infamous racist trope about a democratically elected fellow American made me shudder.”
“Then it made me angry. This should not be happening in modern America,” Morgan continued. “And the fact Donald Trump is not just allowing it to happen, but actively encouraging it to happen, is an indefensible disgrace.”

Piers Morgan is–and I use the term advisedly–a whore.
When you’re at a Trump rally, every town is Moronberg.
“Then it made me angry. This should not be happening in modern America,” Morgan continued. “And the fact Donald Trump is not just allowing it to happen, but actively encouraging it to happen, is an indefensible disgrace.”
Piers, may I call you Piers? Everyone is culpable until they are not. Most of us never were. I guess you just figured it out.
It’s always hard to choke down the “what took you so long???” instinct and say you’re glad that, at least momentarily, you recognize a common enemy. This choke-down is one of the very hardest.
Mr. Morgan, I am glad you at least momentarily recognize that Donald Trump is the American racist’s favorite, and I hope you reflect on why that might be.
Now I’ll go gargle some vinegar.
“And the fact Donald Trump is not just allowing it to happen, but actively encouraging it to happen, is an indefensible disgrace.”
Well, this is obviously getting walked back post haste.
